Adding Shutters and Curtains to Windows

QUESTION

I would like to add shutters and window treatments to my windows. How can I do this?

ANSWER

In Chief Architect, you can apply window treatments to both the exterior and interior of a window.

To add shutters to a window's exterior

Select a window and choose the Open Object edit button to open the Window Specification dialog.

On the Shutters panel, use the Shutters Type drop down to choose the type of shutter you would like to apply, or click the Library button to choose a shutter from the library. Then choose if you would like shutters on one or both sides of your window.

In X5 and prior products put a checkmark in the box for Use Shutters and choose any other options for the style of shutters you like.

To add treatments to a window's interior

Select a window and choose the Open Object edit button or double click the window to open the Window Specification dialog.

On the Treatments panel, click the Curtains Style drop-down list and select Library from that list, or click the Library button.

In the Select Library Object dialog:

Click on a curtain style that suits your needs to select it.

Click OK to close the dialog and return to the Window Specification dialog.

Beneath the Curtains drop-down list, specify a Height Off Floor and Height Above Casing for your curtains, then click OK to close the dialog and apply your changes.
